What happens if I damage equipment that I'm renting?

We expect that over the lifetime of our rental equipment, it will see some normal wear and tear. However, if you return our equipment with dings/dents/scratches/ripped upholstery/etc that wouldn't occur from normal use, we will charge your credit card whatever it costs us to have the equipment repaired. This is not an issue we expect to happen with even the slightest bit of frequency, but should the need arise, we work with some great companies that charge very fair prices for repairs. In the event of equipment damage, we're simply concerned about getting our equipment back in good repair, not gouging you on the price for those repairs.

Additionally, if the particular piece of equipment needs to be taken in for repairs, you will be charged the day rate for the damaged equipment each day until we're able to put it back in use.

It's in our best interest to get all damaged equipment back into service as soon as possible, so we will do everything in our power to avoid downtime for repairs.

My Debit Card has a Visa/MasterCard/AMEX/Discover logo. Can I use it?

Sorry, we do not take debit despite the fact it is issued by a major card company. If the card is not credit we cannot accept it for a damage deposit. Because limits/balances on debit cards are cash based we cannot be certain that a renter will have the funds available should damage from negligence occur.

Do you charge my credit card ahead of time for the damage deposit?

No. We hold your card information on file until your rental is returned. If damage occurs during your rental we will assess that on-site at the time of the return and will issue you a quote within 48 hours and a damage hold amount will be charged. Once the actual repair is completed, any further charges or potential refunds will be run.

Why don't you offer insurance for a small fee instead of a damage deposit?

Our insurance does not offer this option to us as renting motorized watercraft is completely different that renting a car or other on-land motorized vehicle.

While we have considered offering insurance ourselves, we have decided against it. There are multiple reasons for this, but the primary factor in making this decision is the simple fact that when insurance is offered for a nominal amount, some renters treat the equipment poorly and take on the mentality that they can use it any way they please even if that is outside of our expectations and guidelines. The damage deposit should not be a concern at all for our renters that follow the rules and respect the equipment.
